H. Neill. This summer, Mr. Neill says, there have been more people from the Huron County area come to the pioneer museum on North street than at any other time. The reason, he believes, is that they have come to the realization Are You Interested? New Massey Harris 4-ft. ONE-WAY DISC ....

As a Soldier Apprentice, a young man will get a thorough trade training in one of 19 military trades — academic training in such subjects as physics, chemistry, algebra and English — a general military training of the Canadian Soldier — ■ ...he will be living and working alongside enthusiastic, happy Can­ adians his own age while getting a combination of military training schooling, plenty of recreation and expert trade training ... he will be eligible for all Army benefits including 30 days annual leave. ... he will receive half regular Army pay while 16 and on his 17th birthday will draw full poy. To be eligible, a young man must be 16 years of age but not yet 17, and must have a minimum of Grade 8 education. For an interesting booklet with more information on the Soldier Apprentice Plan, write, phone or visit the Army Recruiting Centre nearest you. Do if now, training begins September 13ih.

Bring Guests Then, too, many people in Hu­ ron who have weekend visitors are taking their guests to the museum to show them through the historic institution. Because of the interest being shown by local people, Mr. Neill says, the number of people who have registered so far this sum­ mer is greater than at any time in the past. The museum is now in its fourth year of operation. The number of tourists visit­ ing Goderich and the institution, especially people from the United States, has dropped considerably. And there has been a drop in the number of visitors from other parts of Ontario and Canada. But if the interest of local people and their enthusiasm to bring their guests to the museum continues, the curator anticipates a record attendance year. 7,000th Visitor Over the weekend, the 7,000th visitor, Les Albright, of R.R. 2, Desboro, registered to keep the total well above the 1953 figure. It was late in September when the 7,000th visitor was registered last year and the figure stood at 6,000 ' ‘ year. On made good slightly vious Sunday. “We like to see good crowds,” Mr. Neill says, “and we can look after a little over 200 quite com­ fortably in one day, But we want to have as many visitors as pos­ sible, and we do our best to see that everyone is looked after when the number goes above the 300-mark.” Last year, about 8,600 people were registered at the museum. This year, Mr. Neill hopes to see the number go' over the 9,000- mark. New Pastor From Coast The Rev. Samuel Kerr, B.A., B.D., has accepted a call to the Exeter-Cromarty charge of the Presbyterian Church and will come to Exeter in the near fu­ ture. The Presbytery of Strat­ ford will meet in Caven Presby­ terian Church tin Friday night, September 3, for his induction. For the past nine eygrs, Rev. Kerr has been minister of St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church in Glace Bay, N.S. During that time $60,000 was raised on his charge for building and church renova­ tion. He took *an active interest in community activities and was identified with the Home and School holding the office for three years. Key. Kerr will not be a stranger to this part of Ontario. His first charge after graduating from Knox College in 1932 was at Avonton in the Stratford Pres­ bytery where he was ordained in 1932. After a six-year minis­ try there, he was called to Mel­ ville Church in Brussels.

BAKER During the past week havest- ing operations have been in full swing following a slow period due to weather conditions. It is of interest to note that throughout the county considerable more swathing is being done than in previous years, particularly at least due to the uneven ripening of the grain. High moisture con­ tent in the wheat harvested seems to be common. Beans and corn have been making excellent progress since the recent rains and aftermaths are growing rapidly.

I. HOOPER Plant Wheat? Huron Draws Dutch Folk Huron county has attracted a large number of Dutch immi­ grants who wish to follow farm­ ing as a vocation. Of the 4,Q0Q families who have edme to Southwestern Ontario in the past five years, one-third have purchased their own farms. The average price paid has been $11,700 and the average down payment has been $3,800. The average size farm owned by the Dutch families is 101 acres, while in Holland a family might live on a 25-acre farm for generations with no hope of ex­ panding his holdings. Truck farming of fruits and vegetables is popular with these immigrants from the Netherlands and some are farming success­ fully on 15 acres neai’ the city markets. Nearly 2,000 acres of land in Southwestern Ontario, which had been idle or used for pasture, has been fitted for crop’s during the past three oi* four years since immigration has increased, Most of the farmland has been purchased from Canadians who were retiring. A market for more produce has resulted from the increase in population. The Dutch began setting in Perth, Grey and Bruce counties where there is still available land but as farms become available in the southern counties through re­ tirement oi’ a change of vocation, they are soon taken over. L. M. Hunter, immigration settlements officer, and two other Canadians have been invited by the Dutch government to visit Holland in September to observe customs and conditions there. I i Printed Scotch Tape The Times-Advocate DfMt&OKN Dearborn-Wood Bros. 6-Footer Adjusts Easily To Beansapproximately $1.70 a bushel when fed to dairy cows; $1.80 a bushel when fed to fattening beef; $1.84 a bushel when fed to fattening hogs; $1.48 a bushel when fed to fattening lambs. Sell The Corn These figures make a man stop and think. It would seem that any farmer in his right mind and with any livestock on the farm, be it dairy or fattening beef cattle or hogs, would he more than foolish at any time to sell wheat unless he received pay­ ment of three cents a pound or better. It's worth that for feed at today’s price of corn. We’d be better off to feed the wheat and sell the corn to pay the taxes. Note: According to this same release, wheat is worth 5% more than corn in a beef fattening ra-' tion when it does not constitute more than 50% of that ration. All figures were based on clean No. 1 feed grains on a pound for pound basis and fed in a balanced ration. HAVE U REMEMBERED? Fifty bushels of wheat per acre 300 pounds.

BEST In $ $ $ BEST Performance That seems to be the $64 question facing more farmers in Western Ontario today. The de­ cision must be made now and the wheat planted in less than approximately the next 30 days. There does not seem to be any with Mr. | sense in fooling ourselves. No matter how many -meetings are held by the county branches of the Wheat producers, not .too much increase can be looked for in price. Any large increase in the price of wheat would have an adverse effect on next year’s market. Too many acres of wheat would be sown—and too many bushels would be dumped on the elevatorman’s doorstep next July and August. It is also a fact that amazes this column—the men who are squawking about the price of wheat are the leaders in our County Federation. These men are supposed to be leaders in the agricultural industry of the the county and thus good businessmen and that good fanners. Now, if they are Straker, Detroit, with Mrs.E. A.

True, we would like to obtain a much higher' price than $1.25 a bushel for our wheat on the open market But there are other mar­ kets for this wheat. What's wrong with these chaps?
